Abstract
Street art has a variety of expressive forms and themes. This article presents findings about a particular medium of street art, stencil graffiti, and its makers in Leipzig. In three analytical procedures, stencil-makers' orientations and practices are investigated in order to explore visual street art. Based on interviews with street artists, actual stencil graffiti, and a cross-table analysis, my documentary interpretation reveals distinctive formative principles for street art-related and political stencils. The first group is created based on extensions: street artists transgress ordered meanings and produce new connotations. Political stencils, in contrast, are coined through reduction and have a typical rough-and-ready appearance.
